Lurk6r Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Are you looking for tri-truss or Ibeam? What/how many lights are you thinking of hanging on it?I bought something similar to this off a dude on the forum.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Stage-Light- ... 694wt_1139I don't think it will break, but it does have some slight dents from where I clamped the lights on.From my experience, make sure your truss can be assembled without tools, mine needs an Allan key to tighten the actual truss connectors, its a bit of a pain, but i'm always shitting myself that I'm going to forget it.I don't use the T part of the stand, but its nice to have in case I want to throw a smaller show that doesn't require the full truss.

L33nsta Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I bought something similar.They are a pain to setup. I found trying to slide on the truss on your own and getting both sides to stand up without falling over is a nightmare.I used the truss once. Now I just use the 2 stands and T bars only.I have the lights permanently attached to the T bars.Also, I run 4 passive speakers with seperate amps and a DMX desk, so for me the truss was the first thing to go to reduce setup time.

L33nsta Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Off Topic Reply:I am looking at active speakers now and replacing my laptop. Finding it hard to get a good sounding active speakers.I currently run 4 EV Eliminators, 2x15 inch and horn boxes and 2 boxes with an 18inch sub in each. Powered by 2 crown amps putting 600w into each box, they sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
